Lurking in the Darkness

The wind was flowing slowly in the dark night, the street lights flooding the main roads in a polychromatic glow. A dark figure arose from the shadows and made its way towards the CIB Human Resources center, the building stood far from effulgence leaving it dim and veiled. It came into sight when the dark figure reached the front doors, it was a man. He glanced to his sides to see if anybody had been pursuing him, and when he saw the night was empty, he proceed through the double doors into the dark prodigious building. Just as he made his way into the interior, another figure arose in the night, this time it was a woman. The dark haired woman seemed to have been focusing on the direction in which the middle aged man went. When the woman entered the building you could see exhilaration in her light brown eyes. Just as she reached the man inside, he turned around to see Melissa Kobaz, his 24 year old intern, and a slight smile came across his face making his blue eyes beam with pleasure. Their lips met each others and gradually they disappeared into the dark hallway.

*** About 2 blocks away from the Human Resources center was the Lexington 53rd street subway station. The station was usually cleared by nightfall, but some citizens still roam the night. The train tracks were quivering; the cement walls were reiterating the sounds of the oncoming train. All through the night trains come and go.
